Chair assemblies (e.g., rocker style chairs, fixed position chairs, chairs with pivoting seats, tables and trays, a sub-combination thereof, or a combination thereof) are provided. More particularly, chair assemblies (e.g., rocker style chairs, fixed position chairs, chairs with pivoting seats, tables and trays, a sub-combination thereof, or a combination thereof), modular components for use within the chairs, parts for use within the modular components and related manufacturing and installation methods are provided.

An anti-closure device for use with a self-folding seat, including a seat portion and a tensioning system. The seat portion includes a first anchor that is adapted to be removably coupled to a seat of a self-folding seat, a second anchor that affixes to the seatback of the self folding seat or the seat portion of the adjacent seat, and the tensioning system is attached at a first end to the first anchor and at a second end to the second anchor. When installed on a self-folding seat, the tensioning system maintains force against a natural bias of the seat of the self-folding seat to fold closed, thereby holding the seat in an open state.

A beam seating assembly has a frame supporting a seating surface. A beam secures to a first support and extends in a longitudinal direction. A channel is located the beam free of the first support. The frame has a lower portion with a connector that is insertable into the channel transverse to the longitudinal direction and the connector, once inserted into the channel, is retained from removal out of the channel in a direction. The connector is insertable into a first portion of the channel and a second portion of the connector rotatable into a second portion of the channel and then slidable away from the first portion such that the first and second portions of the connector are retained within the channel but are slidable in the longitudinal direction until the connector is fixedly secured to the beam. The frame is made in certain aspects from a flat plate.
